Thrity-seven hundred bucks down the crapper and what do I get for it, the "privilege of sending other people's kids to school. What do I look like, Rockerfeller? Send your own damn kids to school and leave me alone.

I'm looking forward to Gov. Elect Jerry Brown's comments as he takes office today. Taxes will rise for some, and services will be curtailed for the many. Everyone will feel the pain as he once again cleans up the mess created by another amateur Republican Governor.
California will lead the way and the false promise that lower taxes are the best cure for all fiscal ills will be replaced with pragmatic problem solving and a dose reality therapy. Gov. Brown will face the same intransigent Repupublican minority which has been willing to deficit spend rather than raise revenue, and willing to sell government assets (which makes no long term sense) rather than support a responsible economic policy wherein pain is shared.

I remember when prop 13 pased and I was a college student, Some lady was protesting at the college because her child lost Bus service. I asked her if she voted for prop 13 and she proudly said yes, I told her she got what she deserved.

People can be so stupid in how they vote and see things.

Like the idiot tea party minions holding signs and screaming about keeping the government out of their medicare.

I have always loved paying my taxes. To pay the payroll tax on my little firm was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, and though it didn't last long, I'm still proud I made it as far as I did. It was a pleasure to watch my marginal rate rise....made me feel like I was succeeding.

Mebbe I am unusual, but I love my country and I feel paying taxes is a patriotic act.

It's patriotic to keep the fucking government in check not to write them a check.

One more example of an emotional reaction seeking a simple solution to complex problems.
I suppose that's what appeals the most to those who support the tea party movement. In a way such thinking is little different than a petty criminal who risks decades in prison by committing a robbery where a few dollars is the take.
